Alien Knights

Chapter 691: The first duel with death (middle)

Cumberland said to the adjutant next to him: "Pass the order and prepare for battle!"

   The long horn sounded, and the knights of the Twilight Knights began to mobilize their horses and began to slowly advance toward the battlefield.

   As the distance of travel increased, the Knights adopted a rare loose formation, and the gap between the knights became larger and larger.

   After the Knights advanced three hundred meters, the marching drums also sounded from the Holy Order.

   The first phalanx, the second phalanx, one behind the other, almost close to each other, moving at the same time, and the two started chasing the Knights very slowly.

   The knights moved forward about two kilometers, and gradually dispersed into a dozen companies in teams.

   And the first and second phalanx of the Holy Cultist Army are already behind the Knights by a distance of nearly one kilometer, and they are far behind, without the slightest increase in speed.

   As for the third-party formation of the Crusades, the lizardmen, ratmen, dwarves... stayed in place, still not moving at all.

   Standing on the lookout tower built temporarily on the city wall, Cumberland looked into the distance with a single-scope, and said to the adjutant: "Tell those guys and let them remember that keeping their distance and using the speed difference is the most important thing."

   The adjutant nodded, and the honeycomb communicator of the keel armor on his body began to make a small soft noise.

   The adjutant after delivering the command glanced at the telescope in Cumberland's hand, and whispered: "My lord, the eagle-eye ability is a very convenient ability."

   Cumberland waved his hand while observing the battlefield: "I don't like those messy things. After all, the only things I can trust are the sword in my hand and the horse under him."

   The adjutant glanced at the keel armor on Cumberland, shrugged, and said nothing.

   The Knights marched forward three kilometers, and finally stopped on the grassland about five kilometers away from the Western City Wall.

   At this moment, on the distant horizon, one after another black spots appeared first, and then a large swarm of black dead spirits roared and staggered.

   Those dead spirits have rotten flesh, dazzling white bones, and violently twisted black parasites are like tentacles, constantly swinging on them. If you distinguish them carefully, they can vaguely recognize their appearance before birth.

   Farmers, craftsmen, soldiers, and nobles, their original identities are no longer useful in the face of death.

   In addition to the original humans, more eye-catching is a large group of livestock and beasts.

   cats, dogs, cows, pigs, wolves, bears...

   The fur on these animals has long been rotten to grayish white, revealing black and purple carrion.

   Cumberland, who was observing the undead, put down the binoculars and whispered: "There are more than expected."

The adjutant leaned closer and said: "As the corpse tide is moving, it will continue to absorb the free dead spirits, so the number will increase. Moreover, when the Valkyrie counts the quantity from a high altitude, large targets such as humans and livestock are easy to calculate, but similar. Small targets like cats and dogs are easy to overlook."

   Cumberland said: "Now considering these are useless, let the Valkyrie take off, we need their support... Everything is fighting according to the original plan."

   Adjutant: "Yes! The commander!"

   Dozens of Valkyrie riding griffins slowly ascended to the sky from the city, and the Twilight Knights also began to advance.

   More than a dozen alliances formed by hundreds of knights began to approach the corpse tide from many directions.

   As for the first and second phalanx of the Crusade Army, the distance from the Knights at this time has exceeded three kilometers.

   At this moment, an order directed at the Crusades reached every soldier—stay where they are and not move.

  Walking at the forefront of the battlefield, the orc Carol, who was ordered to stop, grabbed the double-edged axe in his hand, craned his neck to look forward and asked, "Why let us stop?"

  The werewolf Aldenan standing next to him said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with this? If those riding horses can get rid of the dead spirits, we just have to watch."

  Carroll glared at Aldenan.

   At this time, the dozens of knight regiments, from all directions, are already close to the position of the corpse tide less than 500 meters.

   Finally some necromancer noticed these approaching knights.

   Accompanied by a deafening roar, the undead began to rush towards the nearest Cavaliers team frantically, and the entire tide of corpses suddenly fell apart and turned into dozens of corpses running wild on the grassland.

   The knight commander headed by the Cavaliers Alliance used the honeycomb on the keel to send a signal.

   In this way, more than a dozen Cavaliers team led the scattered corpses, and began to run in different directions in the north, south, east and west.

   Among them, there were two Cavaliers Alliance, which attracted about three hundred undead spirits, and retreated toward the phalanx of the Holy Order Army.

   Cumberland, standing on the watchtower, stared at the group of undead rushing towards the Crusades, and said, "It's their turn to give their strength."

   The lieutenant who was using the hive communication suddenly raised his head and said to Cumberland: "Large commander, the nine team has discovered a rapidly alienated necromancer."

Hearing this, Cumberland quickly picked up his binoculars and looked at it. Among the group of undead in the northwest of the battlefield, there was an undead wearing an off-white coat. It had all fours together and sprinted on the ground like a leopard, almost reaching it. The speed of the alien warhorse.

   Cumberland said in a deep voice, "Get out of him!"

A few seconds later, a Valkyrie circling in the air, commanded the Griffon to approach the Knights' Ninth Regiment, raised a bow and arrow to aim at the fast, alienated necromancer that was chasing after him, and nailed the opponent with one arrow. On the grass.

   Facing the fast approaching corpse group, the commander of the Crusade Army rang the drums of the battle.

The orcs and tauren erected huge shields as high as one person, the werewolves raised their crossbow arrows, and the elves, gorgonians and velvet people walked into the space behind the shield wall one after another, observing the battle, and preparing for it. The release of abilities.

   Soon, the Cavaliers team responsible for attracting the enemy retreated to the near side of the Holy Cadet Army, and the first group of undead spirits had rushed to a position less than 300 meters away from the position of the Cadet Army.

   The commander of the Holy Religious Army shouted, and the werewolves drew the crossbow first.

A rain of crossbow arrows shot toward the group of corpses, and in a blink of an eye, dozens of undead spirits were shot down to the ground~lightnovelpub.net~The werewolves put the crossbow machine in their hands on the ground, and the orcs in front of them and The tauren took off another crossbow from his back and fired again at the corpse.

   After two rounds of shooting, the impact of the corpse group became much scattered.

   At the forefront are those small and fast animal necromancers, such as cats, dogs, wolves, etc.; behind them are human and livestock necromancers.

   The velvet people waved their arms, the water vapor in the air began to condense, and large tracts of rain fell on the grass in front of the position.

   The elves with the ability of the ice system began to cool the front, and the wet grass instantly froze and turned into a smooth ice surface.

   The dead spirits rushing on the ice, unable to maintain a stable posture, fell to the ground one after another, their speed greatly reduced.

   Then, under the cover of the orcs and tauren, the elves of the fire system and the electric system began to eliminate the dead souls that could not stand on the ice one by one.

  Occasionally, there are a few lucky dead spirits, who can escape the intensive blow and approach the position of the Holy Clerical Army's position less than ten meters.

   However, the Gorgon with the petrification ability became the strongest barrier of the Crusade’s line of defense, turning them into piles of rocks.

   Not to mention, the Valkyrie circling in the sky is also helping to clean up the dead.

   Soon, the first group of about 300 corpses was cleaned up.

   Cumberland said to the adjutant while observing the battle: "Let the phalanx of the Holy Order move back one hundred meters, and don't get close to the dead souls; moreover, let the next team lead the dead."
